<p>A sum type carrying either a <code>T</code> or an <code>E</code>, with <code>NoValuePolicy</code> specifying what to do if one tries to read state which isn&rsquo;t there, and enabling injection of hooks to trap when lifecycle events occur. Either or both of <code>T</code> and <code>E</code> can be <code>void</code> to indicate no value for that state is present. Note that <code>E = void</code> makes basic result into effectively an <code>optional&lt;T&gt;</code>, but with <code>NoValuePolicy</code> configurable behaviour. Detectable using <a href="../../reference/traits/is_basic_result.html" class="api-reference"><code>is_basic_result&lt;T&gt;</code></a>
.</p>

<p><em>Requires</em>: Concept requirements if C++ 20, else static asserted:</p>

<ul>
<li>That trait <a href="../../reference/traits/type_can_be_used_in_basic_result.html" class="api-reference"><code>type_can_be_used_in_basic_result&lt;R&gt;</code></a>
 is true for both <code>T</code> and <code>E</code>.</li>
<li>That either <code>E</code> is <code>void</code> or <code>DefaultConstructible</code> (Outcome v2.1 and earlier only).</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Namespace</em>: <code>BOOST_OUTCOME_V2_NAMESPACE</code></p>

<p><em>Header</em>: <code>&lt;boost/outcome/basic_result.hpp&gt;</code></p>

<p><em>Inclusions</em>: The very lightest weight of C and C++ header files:</p>

<ol>
<li><code>&lt;cstdint&gt;</code></li>
<li><code>&lt;initializer_list&gt;</code></li>
<li><code>&lt;iosfwd&gt;</code></li>
<li><code>&lt;new&gt;</code></li>
<li><code>&lt;type_traits&gt;</code></li>
<li>If <a href="../../reference/macros/in_place_type.html" class="api-reference"><code>BOOST_OUTCOME_USE_STD_IN_PLACE_TYPE</code></a>
 is <code>1</code>, <code>&lt;utility&gt;</code> (defaults to <code>1</code> for C++ 17 or later only)</li>
<li>If C++ exceptions disabled and <code>BOOST_OUTCOME_DISABLE_EXECINFO</code> undefined only (used to print stack backtraces on &ldquo;exception throw&rdquo;):

<ol>
<li><code>&lt;sal.h&gt;</code> (Windows only)</li>
<li><code>&lt;stddef.h&gt;</code> (Windows only)</li>
<li><code>&lt;string.h&gt;</code> (Windows only)</li>
<li><code>&lt;execinfo.h&gt;</code> (POSIX only)</li>
</ol></li>
<li><code>&lt;cstdio&gt;</code></li>
<li><code>&lt;cstdlib&gt;</code></li>
<li><code>&lt;cassert&gt;</code></li>
</ol>

<p>This very light weight set of inclusion dependencies makes basic result suitable for use in global header files of very large C++ codebases.</p>

<h3 id="design-rationale">Design rationale</h3>

<p>The basic result type is the main workhorse type of the Outcome library, providing a simple sum type with optional values representing success or disappointment. Unlike 
<a href="https://wg21.link/P0323" class="api-reference" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-book" aria-hidden="true"></i> P0323 <code>std::expected&lt;T, E&gt;</code></a>
, Outcome&rsquo;s result type is designed specifically for convenience when implementing failure handling across very large codebases, and it has a number of API differences to facilitate that.</p>

<p>The first major design difference is that basic result models its constructor design on 
<a href="https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/variant" class="api-reference" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-book" aria-hidden="true"></i> <code>std::variant&lt;...&gt;</code></a>
, rather than modelling 
<a href="https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/optional" class="api-reference" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-book" aria-hidden="true"></i> <code>std::optional&lt;T&gt;</code></a>
&rsquo;s constructor design like <code>std::expected&lt;T, E&gt;</code> does. This means that basic result will implicitly construct either a <code>T</code> or an <code>E</code> if doing so is unambiguous, same as <code>variant</code> does. Where implicit construction is ambiguous, the implicit constructors disable and a <code>T</code> or <code>E</code> can be specified via <a href="../../reference/types/in_place_type_t.html" class="api-reference"><code>in_place_type_t&lt;T&gt;</code></a>
, or via <a href="../../reference/types/success_type.html" class="api-reference"><code>success_type&lt;T&gt;</code></a>
 or <a href="../../reference/traits/is_failure_type.html" class="api-reference"><code>failure_type&lt;T&gt;</code></a>
. We implement a subset of variant&rsquo;s constructors for improved compile time impact, so the implicit and explicit constructor design is split into fixed subsets to reduce SFINAE execution.</p>

<p>The second major design difference is that union storage is ONLY used when both <code>T</code> and <code>E</code> are trivially copyable or <code>void</code>, otherwise struct storage is used. This is usually not a problem, as it is assumed that <code>sizeof(E)</code> will be small for failure handling. The choice to only use union storage for trivially copyable types only very considerably reduces load on the compiler, and substantially improves compile times in very large C++ 14 codebases, because copies and moves do not need to jump through complex ceremony in order to implement the never-empty guarantees which would be required in a union storage based implementation (C++ 17 onwards does far fewer copy and move constructor instantiations, but it all adds up &ndash; work avoided is always the fastest).</p>

<p>Thus <code>basic_result</code> meets the <code>Regular</code> concept if both <code>value_type</code> and <code>error_type</code> are <code>Regular</code>, except for the lack of a default constructor. Often where one needs a default constructor, wrapping <code>basic_result</code> into
